Mozilla Public License to Become More Apache Compatible

Mozilla have announced an effort to update their open source
Mozilla Public License (MPL,) with an eye to making it Apache
compatible.

The updated license will aim to make MPL more compatible with
Apache in terms of patent terms, and be more flexible about MPL
projects using Apache-licensed code.

Additional planned updates are globalising the MPL, and updating
the source/executable distinction in accordance with modern
development practices, including interpreted languages, binary
modification, and non-code users.

Mozilla make it clear that they are not considering switching
licenses or significantly altering the scope of the file-level
copyleft. Please see the ‘Scope‘ page at Mozilla.org for more
information.
